What is the target demographic of games such as these? Is that another Five Nights at Freddy's fad game?

Seems to be more based on Poppy Playtime, which is a first-person puzzle game based on FNaF.

This one seems to have FPS-elements to it though.

All of the above mentioned games have the same target demographic - vtubers, adult babies, and the teenagers who got sucked into FNaF in the first place.

The scariest thing about this game is how the developer decided it was okay to have white text that doesn't darken against white backgrounds.

From what I watched, it touches on what happened to American public broadcast and children shows, going from Mr. Rodgers to violent cartoons.

After the show was cancelled for being too nice, the muppets finally watched the violent children shows and gave people what they wanted (violence).

The Poppy Playtime style "children's horror" thing is dime a dozen these days, as was mentioned before in this thread, but I hear that this game is actually pretty good. Poppy Playtime, meanwhile, was straight up made by Elsagate tier YouTube scammers.

None of these are as good as Five Nights at Freddy's (the originals, not the godawful 3D game made by different devs).

While I agree the subgenre is saturated, Poppy Playtime got certain items right imo. Both final chases were great to watch.
